He doesn't really have anything to do with Saul. Saul knew a guy who knew a a guy who knew a guy (don't know who the guy was between Mike and Gus, but whatever). Gus is only tangentially involved with Gus as a result of him being the lawyer of his cooks.

Ugh, Nerdist. Cranston was discussing in detail the way he approaches his craft, a craft at which he is unquestionably superb, and those douchehorses chime in every second about "dick grapes". That podcast is a horse's worst shit.

Taxes are for faggots. Rich people only wish they could be as honourable as the noble poor. We will never run out of oil.

That's actually a pretty damn clever theory, although I think that Saul was probably in on the poisoning, considering all his comments to Jesse in the office, which seemed to imply he was a part of the whole plan.

Yes, yes it is. He's not going to murder his wife in cold blood because she gave her one-time lover $600,000. He may say cold, backhanded things to her ("There isn't. There was, but now there isn't", or something to that effect) and he will inevitably hold it against her forever, only to be shut down repeatedly with a…

I'd still have to say Aaron Paul. The speech in Problem Dog and the confrontation with Walt in End Times seal it for me.

The camera angle fooled me. However shortly before season 4 began I read that he said there wasn't supposed to be any ambiguity, and I was happy that my confusion was resolved. I was even happier to know that instead of ending on a frustrating cliffhanger it had ended with a cold blooded murder by an in need of a big…

As for the bullshit CGI shot, may I cite a few examples from early on in these comments? The soldier who, standing pretty much on top of a detonated IED, walks away without a scratch while a bystander 40 feet away was killed. And the soldier who continued to fire on the enemy with a gaping hole in the back of the head.

There's no guarantee that Jesse would tell Andrea about the ricin. Walt might not have even expected him to make it to the hospital before coming to kill him or Gus, whomever he assumed first was behind it. Walt didn't even have to assume that Jesse would discover the ricin cigarette missing until after he found out…

I think Walt and Saul were planning on things go a little more smoothly. After doing his part in the poisoning plot, Saul went underground. I doubt he expected to be included further in this. It was a plan with a lot of what-ifs, and one they couldn't control for was that Jesse would let it slip about the ricin. I…

My dad suggested that when he changed from his Pollos uniform into his black suit of murdering that he might have put on  a kevlar vest. It would make sense, given the distribution of damage was all above where such a vest would be protecting.

Watch the scene again. Huell absolutely took it (and I was convinced it was Gus who poisoned Brock). He digs deep into his pockets, and all he has to do is flip open the cigarette carton and feel around for the obvious feel of flakey tobacco, easily distinguishable from a cigarette filter. Then note that Saul does not…

I think Marie is great. She's one of the funniest people of an all around very funny cast. In fact, the only regular cast member who isn't funny at all is Giancarlo Esposito. Anna Gunn has some fantastic facial expressions.

Ken Tremendous from FireJoeMorgan? I knew he wrote for The Office, which I've barely seen, but I didn't know he was the creator of Parks and Rec, which I've never seen. My point is I was sad when FireJoeMorgan shut down.

May I invoke Occam's Razor (not that the simplest answer is usually the correct one, but rather that the conclusion which requires the fewest new assumptions is usually the correct one)? To blame Walt, Jesse only has to assume that Walt would want to poison Brock. To blame Gus, Jesse would have to assume that Gus knew…

I actually predict that Jesse will die in the season finale. He's been wearing t-shirts with vaguely yet purposefully Christian iconography (remember that Vince Gilligan has final say on all wardrobe). The t-shirt he wore in this episode had a sword shaped like a cross, suggesting he will sacrifice himself. I think…

That was their only chance to get near Gus without being murdered in the process. It was in public, in a place where Gus was known (a director on the hospital board), and where they could guarantee for a short period that Gus would not have his powers of omnipotence. Walt had time to rig the car and go across the…

This episode began like half an hour after "Crawl Space" ended. Nobody knows about  Ted but Saul, and Saul is not really thinking about that at the moment.

Jesse gave Gus the slightest notion that he knew what was up when Jesse said Brock was poisoned. This was Jesse's inability to hide his disgust for Gus, and it was just enough for Gus to know something was up. He knew that he might have known that he poisoned him. Given Gus's supreme caution, not getting into the car…
